Fall Inspired, Sunflower Wreath – Free Crochet Pattern

I have been having a lot of fun making wreaths for my home – like my Granny’s Patriotic Wreath. After 4th of July passed, I got to thinking a fall wreath would be the perfect one to make next. I have been wanting to redo my sunflower applique, which you saw the new version a couple weeks ago in my Sunflower 2.0, to make it look more like a sunflower, and sunflowers are everywhere for fall, alongside pumpkins.

I spent a lot of time thinking on how I wanted to arrange them. First, I thought about covering the whole wreath, then I contemplated adding a monogram, but this simple design won me over, and I am soooo happy with it!

This post is a collection of patterns, and a little of the how-to to make your own wreath. If you purchase the PDF, you will receive all three patterns in one.

Weave in ends, and set aside. This wreath hanger is used to hang on a wreath hanger. The open ends will be at the top, and the slit is where the loop of the wreath hanger will be placed through.

Assembly:

Decide where to place your flowers, and leaves. To do so, lay them down on your wreath, and carefully move around until you have found the perfect spots. I say carefully because you don’t want your crocheted pieces to get stuck on any twigs from the wreath.

I laid my flowers down along the bottom of the wreath imagining a line separating the center with two sunflowers on each side. Next I added my leaves in between the sunflowers, making sure they didn’t touch each other, but were sticking out enough to be seen over the sunflowers. After this was just the way I wanted it, I went ahead and hot glued them in place. I also hot glued the bow to the wreath hanger in a way that while the wreath was hanging, you would see it just above the wreath.

You can easily leave the bow off if you don’t want it, or if you don’t use the crocheted hanger, you can just hot glue the bow directly onto the wreath.

Please feel free to make and sell your own Sunflower Wreath using this pattern, but please DO NOT claim this pattern as your own nor should you sell my pattern, and DO NOT re-publish my photos as your own. DO NOT copy and paste my pattern anywhere, link to it instead.
